"Commentary from P.M. Carpenter"

Wham. Scaramucci loses his fucking head.

Scaramucci was expected to announce his new communications team Monday afternoon, but he was informed of the decision to remove him that morning. A senior White House aide said the move came after discussions over the weekend. There was "no way" he could work with Kelly, the senior aide said.

"Kelly is already changing the culture here," said another White House aide.

No he is not. The beheadings go on, and Kelly's military-like efficiency will soon enough be swamped by the incorrigible, indefatigable impulsiveness and stupidity of Donald J. Trump. As was needed with Louis XVI, Trump will only need to apply a bit more pressure on the blade when it's time to decapitate Kelly as well. There's not a safe tête within 200 yards of this gothic horror of a White House.
